As far as I know, anyone who:
- currently makes their principle residence in Scotland,
*OR*
- was born in Scotland, regardless of where they now live,
*OR* (and this is stretching things a bit, but just to cover it)
- has Scottish parents but for some reason was born in
some other location and has never gone to Scotland,
is _still_ a Scot. It's insulting to claim that
fecking Hardy is "more Scottish" than Cory
(assuming Cory was born in Scotland, as I
thought he had been), or me, or anyone else
who meets one of the above criteria, for that
matter. (And by the way, *that* eejit's posting
from New Zealand, isn't he?)

Maybe because, in a group where there _are_
Real Scots(tm), you solicited the opinion
of an American/Canadian instead of an actual
Scot.

Maybe, but your original thrust was to get
a Scot's opinion on Palin's career move...
and then you singled out a North American
poster, instead of a Scottish one, to pro-
vide said opinion.
S�im�'s post was only one line long and just
pointed out that you apparently don't know
who the Scots in the group are. The fact that
he posted as a followup to Fred doesn't make
him...or his comment...vulgar. He merely
made an observation.

I suspect a lot of people are simply tired...
the group's nastiness quotient has gone up
exponentially in recent months and frankly,
most people have better things to do than
read the self-aggrandising vitriol which is
emanating from the keyboard of a certain
poster who isn't nearly as amusing as he
seems to think he is.

But Nilita, are you forgetting the filth spewed out by the so called
Liberals among us (I'll mention no names)?.
Vulgarity is not, in my estimation, limited to Conservatives.
A quick review of pee pee's bilious postings should convince you of that.

See Deirdre's take on Jim's comment. He simply made a one line
observation that nilita seemingly didn't know who were the Scots on
the group. She mistakenly read something into it that wasn't intended.
Unless Jim wants to clarify further, I think we've beat this to death.

Yeah. Sometimes I can't discern the difference between [normal]

That was polite and to the point.
Btw Neb, I was in an interesting wee second-hand bookshop in
Mississauga last Friday to pick up a copy of a book (The Reincarnation
of PeterProud) as a surprise for my youngest daughter and I came
across a book called "Teach Yourself Doric" by Douglas Kynoch. I'm
finding it a real tonic as it reminds me so much of the way my Mother

Hey, I'm partially of Scottish descent (Buchanan).
And having and giving opinions, wanted or not, is part and parcel of the
Scottish gene structure (dominant genes too, might I add)

The PC monitor gives some folks varying degrees of anonymity, thus freeing

Actually I do have pee pee killfiled.
I only see his posts when he is responded to by one of the other regulars.
And I usually only reply when he has made some especially egregious
comments.
(Or on those occasions when I am feeling especially nasty toward vermin and

Hey!
If you birds can recognize three million*nglishmen as honorary Scots, you
surely have room for a few Canadians as well.

Hardy? Are you afraid that if you took out NZ citizenship, all your
Scottish blood would drain out of you taking with it all encoded memories of
being Scottish, not to mention your proclivity towards wearing kilts and
speaking with a Scottish brogue only to be replaced by NZ cooties never to
have your Scottishness seen again?

It is betrayal only if the betrayed party is feeling hurt. Or something.
So, you think Helen et al are traitors to Scotland?!
Or.
Isn't it "betrayal" to leave Scotland to plant roots elsewhere. Period?
